Sparkling Mockmosa Recipe
A crisp, citrusy, and refreshing non-alcoholic mimosa perfect for brunch. This recipe uses a specific pouring technique to maintain maximum carbonation and a sophisticated flavor profile.
Equipment
- Champagne Flutes
- Juicer
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Valencia orange juice freshly squeezed and chilled
- 1 cup Sparkling white grape juice well-chilled (or sparkling cider)
Garnishes
- Orange slices or twists
- Fresh rosemary sprigs optional
Instructions
- Phase 1: The Chill Factor - Thoroughly chill the orange juice and sparkling juice for at least 4 hours. Place champagne flutes in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to serving.
- Phase 2: The Pour - Tilt a chilled flute at a 45-degree angle. Fill halfway with sparkling white grape juice, then slowly top with the orange juice. Do not stir, as the juices will mix naturally.
- Phase 3: The Garnish - Add a thin slice of orange or a twist of peel to the rim. Add a sprig of rosemary or a frozen cranberry for extra visual appeal and aroma.
Notes
For a 'Dirty Pour' sunrise effect, drizzle a teaspoon of grenadine down the side of the glass after pouring the juices. Avoid stirring to preserve the bubbles!
